Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 697 Shoufu's Son Is Different

Due to the geographical location, the warm and humid southern summer harvest came earlier than the northern land of Daming. Just when the farmers in Weihu County were about to start harvesting wheat millet, the newly established Hubei Province had basically completed the production of wheat and rice. harvesting task.

On this day, in the second hall of the county government office in Yicheng County, Xiangyang Prefecture, Wen Kan, wearing a green official uniform, was discussing with the chief officials of Yicheng County about resettlement and autumn sowing.

"Brother Xi Xian, fellow colleagues, the whole of your county has paid a lot for these [-] Henan immigrants to be settled in Yicheng smoothly. For more than a year, you have all followed the imperial court's order and worked tirelessly all day long. Running around and governing the villages, and actually taking on all kinds of complicated things, the situation here is all in the eyes of the official, and all of them are truthfully reported in the previous title, so that the officials in the court can pay attention to them when selecting talents and using them. consider.

All of you have been honored by the imperial court this time, which shows the current situation. As long as we do things sincerely, the imperial court will not turn a blind eye.

The current great cause of emigration in Yicheng can be said to have achieved initial results, but in the future there will be a large number of victims of disasters moving south. I hope that my colleagues will continue to work hard, and always put the entrustment of the emperor and the important task of the court to heart. Don’t be overwhelmed The meaning of slack, so that the immigration resettlement can be completed from the beginning to the end! "

After two years of experience, Wen Kan's body not only has that kind of aura that makes people feel friendly, but also adds a bit of bearing and official authority. field.

"What Wen Sicheng said is very reasonable.

The so-called half-ninety people who travel a hundred miles.

The current immigration and resettlement matters are just a good start, and it is still too early for the final success. The officials and colleagues in Yicheng should do their best, as always, and will not give up halfway, so that all previous efforts will be wasted.

For more than a year, Xiaguan and colleagues in Yicheng have benefited a lot from the careful guidance of Mengwen Sicheng. In the future, I hope that Sicheng will continue to guide me and lead us to make new achievements in order to repay the kindness of the Holy Majesty and the imperial court! "

The person who spoke was Fang Jinyou, the head of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry. He was a few years older than Wen Kan. He was sent to Hubei together with Wen Kan to take charge of the planning and construction of water conservancy facilities in various places.

Due to his outstanding political achievements, Fang Jinyou just received a promotion award from the Ministry of Officials a few days ago. He was promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, which is two ranks away from wearing a scarlet robe. It can be said that he has already seen the corners of senior officials' clothes.

Because of this, Fang Jinyou is also very grateful to Wen Kan.

He knew that if it wasn't for the fact that the son of the Chief Assistant didn't take the credit, but reported what he had seen and heard, his promotion award this time would not have come so quickly.

According to this rhythm, when the water conservancy planning and repair of the entire Xiangyang Prefecture under his presidency are fully completed, the title of the fifth rank will not be able to escape, and it will only be one step away from the scarlet robe from the fourth rank.

In terms of age, he is only 34 years old this year, and he is very likely to enter the ranks of high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty when he is around 40 years old. He will become the first high-ranking official of the Fang family since the founding of the country, and it is not impossible for him to go further in the future. , This is really a great joyous event that shines on the lintel.

"Temple Wen, Master Fang, and the lower officials will all follow the imperial court's order, and think that Li Shu's life is the most important thing, so that the imperial court will attack the city as soon as possible, and benefit our Ming people. Please rest assured!"

Jiang Yuanwei, magistrate of Yicheng County, expressed his attitude after bowing his hands and saluting.

This time the imperial court awards, including him, the three chief officials of the county government are also among them. In the future, as long as there are no mistakes in the middle, promotion and reuse will not escape.

After Jiang Yuanwei finished expressing his position, Yicheng county magistrate and chief secretary also successively expressed their attitude that they would continue to go all out in the future. After Wen Kan smiled and encouraged everyone, the topic turned to farmland production.

"Brother Xi Xian, fellow colleagues, this year Xiangyang prefecture added more than 300 million acres of land, of which my Yicheng accounted for nearly [-] million acres.

Although the average yield of summer grain per mu is less than one stone due to the insufficient fertility of the newly reclaimed fields, as long as the local government organizes the households to follow the brochures issued by the Si Nong Temple after the start, the soil fertility will definitely increase to a greater extent after more than a month promote.

If things go on like this, within two years, the newly cultivated fields will become mature fields, and the increase in production in the future is a certainty! "

Wen Kan informed everyone present about the situation in the entire Xiangyang Mansion, and his tone was also encouraging.

Due to geographical location, Xiangyang Prefecture, De'an Prefecture, and Huangzhou Prefecture are the main resettlement places for victims of Henan disasters moving south.

Taking Xiangyang Prefecture alone as an example, Xiangyang, Yicheng, Zaoyang, Nanzhang, Gucheng, Junzhou and other places have accumulatively accepted more than [-] households and more than [-] disaster victims in Dingkou over the past year. For this huge project to progress to its current state, the local governments have indeed done their best.

Wen Kan's words filled the faces of the chief officials of Yicheng County with pride, and they also felt very excited in their hearts.

All of this is closely related to them, and they have achieved it with their own hands. When I mention it many years later, I am also full of pride in my heart.

Yicheng, which has a flatter terrain, received more than 20 disaster-stricken households and nearly [-] residents, occupying the first position among the counties and prefectures under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Prefecture.

"This official believes that after more than a month, the current field crops should be rotated.

The fields of original wheat are replanted with late rice, the fields of original early rice are planted with wheat, and barren slopes and dry fields are planted with corn and sweet potatoes.

After the end of the autumn sowing, the officials of the county government continued to go to the rural households to conduct on-the-spot investigations, organized the farmers to build ponds and river bends to stock fish and shrimp seedlings, and reclaimed barren slopes to plant citrus, so that the farmers could have additional income in addition to food production. income.

Regarding the increase of farmers' income, the official has written a letter to the court and applied for the transfer of silver from the Ministry of Households for the purchase of seedlings.

The Ministry of Household Affairs once accepted the wishes of the emperor and set up a special fund to support farmers, encouraging local governments to apply for funds to help farmers increase their income.

The official estimates that the money from the household department will be allocated to Xiangyang Prefecture in less than two months. At that time, Guixian County can just apply for the transfer as far as possible.

Within these two months, Guixian County must do a good job in surveying and planning, select a suitable area that is suitable for the household, and start a small-scale trial planting and trial breeding. After one or two years, after summing up the success or failure, the mature technology will be used. Comprehensive promotion.

If there is a shortage of funds at that time, your county can form a test book as much as possible, and the official will help from it! "

When it comes to agricultural production, Wen Kan looks like an expert. What he said just now is well-founded, and he puts forward new viewpoints and tasks from a strategic perspective, which makes everyone here admire: Your son really has a good vision, and these new measures proposed by us are completely unexpected.

In order to increase farmers' income, people directly report to the household department to ask for funds. This kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have.

Even if we think of these ideas, at most we will report to the Xiangyang Mansion, and then the Fu Zun will report to the Zhongcheng, and the Zhongcheng will report to the court.

After this level of submission, even if the imperial court has money to transfer, it will be at least until next year.

But people didn't care about this, and they bypassed all levels of superiors and handed the title book to the cabinet at once.

With the chief assistant's father here, the officials in the household department have to rush to allocate money.

That's a young teacher, a special Jin Ronglu doctor!

"This matter is over. As for planting crops next spring, I still have some ideas!"
